Star Wars’ reluctance to recast Luke and Leia is holding the franchise back (www.gamesradar.com)

It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

I really don’t think recasting is what’s holding Star Wars back - it’s the adherence to being strictly pre-Sequel Trilogy for anything new now.

Give us something new, either from the High Republic era and start building that up or something post-Sequels.
